Vince Young is broke and out of work

False Start said:
I guess he will go from, "making it rain" to making it hail at the skrip clubs now. :twocents:

I know there will be Vince nuthuggers that will blame this on Fischer, because he didn't like him, and was never given a chance to succeed. :cry2: :rolleyes:

Good. I'm GLAD he's broke. He's worthless and he's a loser.

How anyone could have the God-given talents he has and COMPLETELY blow them AND the MILLIONS of dollars he got just for being a top draft pick is ****ing beyond me.

**** him.

How nice. Something tells that there is quite a bit that is beyond you.
 
I take no joy in the parting of a fool and his money. I hope for his sake he signs with someone soon and learns to manage his money. If not some UT alum will more than likely give him the same sweetheart deal that Dexter Manley currently has i.e disgustingly overpaid "greeter" at a law firm.
 
Hey guys, look now you can contribute to a VY 401k!

Vince provided Longhorn fans with 3 years of memories culminating in back-to-back Rose Bowl wins and a National Championship. Not only did he return the University of Texas back to it's rightful place at the top of college football, but he also brought joy and pride to millions of Longhorns across the country.

The least we can do is help the man get back on his feet.


What We Need

That's where you come in...

We want to raise $100,119 (one dollar for every seat in DKR) to provide Vince with a diversified retirement portfolio.

Simply donate a dollar and help a living legend.



Other Ways You Can Help

Spread the word!

Vince may be broke but OU still sucks.



DISCLAIMER: We are in no way affiliated with Vince Young. We're just Longhorns looking to help.

Man, even as a Longhorn fan and VY fan I'm offended by this type of handout. The guy just blew like 23 Million dollars and some dumbass wants to raise all this money so he can get a better 401K. How about helping some fellow Longhorns that are in car accidents and got paralyzed or have had cancer diagnosis? No, they'd rather give a guy who acted like a brat half of his career a free handout, because he blew his wad and trusted a ton of thieves. God, there are some really stupid people out there that worship athletes and entertainers way to much.

its not that hard to blow money, it is hard for people that have never had anywhere near 26MM in understand how it could be done even more so when your income is 0-250M per year. But being wasteful isnt that hard.

It has been shown that those that don't have money generally don't know how to manage money. Therefore, when someone like that wins a lottery they are usually broke again before too long. So, it comes as no surprise to me that guys who make contracts that are like winning a lottery end up blowing it like a poor lottery winner. Then you have the idiot factor:

Might just be a rumor but I heard Texan Bill has won and lost multiple fortunes in Houston strip clubs that would make VY's numbers pale by comparison.

I was going to post this, almost verbatim except with a few more expletives. Well said.

The only funny thing about it is that they've only collected 47 bucks, from a total of 8 people. That was money better spent at Double Dave's for Pep'roni Rolls and Shiner.

Or, 1 more dollar and they could order one Prime Ribeye with sautéed mushrooms off this pertinent menu.
 
So basically Vince can't even afford a ticket to get into "his house" to see "his team" play the Texans on Sunday.

Sad but I can live with that.
 
There has to be some talk among NFL insiders that is keeping him from getting signed. I was never an advocate for him coming here but look around the league and honestly say he isn't better than many of the 2nd and 3rd string QB's.

Or to put a blunt point on it, if the Texans had to go out on Monday to play would you rather have Carr or VY starting?

I was thinking along the same lines. I thought for sure he'd be a good
candidate for San Francisco or even Kansas City. Lack of talent just can't
be the primary reason he's out of the league.
 
Dude is a great athlete. He should take the attitude of making a team at any position. I know guys get stuck on having to play QB once they've done it, but VY could line up at TE and probably be pretty good at it.

I think his little stunt with Fisher is what has haunted him. The perception is that he quit his team, and that's something that will follow a player.

Im sure the inside talk is he is lazy and isnt reliable or something of the sort so while he may be better in terms of ability whos to say he will be around when you need him.

While the Fisher incident didn't help, he still was signed twice after that. The Eagles kept him for a year and saw horrible results including 4TD passes compared to 9 interceptions. In spite of that, the Bills still saw fit to sign him to a contract and despite giving him almost all of the off-season and pre-season to prove himself as a backup, let him go in favor of Tarvaris Jackson. Chan Gailey's exact quote when releasing Vince was:
He didn’t quite get everything that we were trying to do and we were asking him to do some things that probably didn’t fit him.

To me that essentially means he's not capable of picking up an offensive system (again - even with OTA's, Mini-camp and Training Camp). Physical talent is one thing, but it's trumped when you're a QB and aren't smart enough.

Probably has a lot more to do with his attitude, work ethic, etc, than his talent.

Gun to my head between Carr and VY, just pull the trigger. I'd probably take experience over the still raw, unwillingness to do the work required of the position talent that is VY.

If he gets his head on right and does the work that it takes to be successful in this league, because talent alone doesn't get it done, then more power to him. For now, I'll take Case Keenum over him in a heartbeat.

Ya know my answer!! I don't want VY anywhere near our TEXANS, and that includes anywhere in the stadium!! If I see him on the front row of my section, where several friends of some of our players have been this year, I'll make it my goal to make sure he gets all the beer he could ever want, and none of it will end up in his stomach!!

He's not. He's probably not appreciably worse, either. But when you get down the depth chart like that, things other than the ability to run around the football field come into play. Coaches want to know that you can study the play book and learn the offense enough to come in at a moment's notice and at least give the guys around you a chance to win. VY doesn't have that.

I'd take Mr. Checkdown. At least he knows where the outlet receiver is and he won't turn the ball over much. It'd be a defense and running game type of game. Furthermore, I think NFL coaches would take Carr over VY, because they know they can plan around his limitations. VY out there is just too much of a wild card for them. Coaches are control freaks like very few others.
 
I think coaches are starting to see how much Jeff Fisher had to prop this guy up and completely revamp the offense to make up for his lack of skill. As someone mentioned, even when you get down the depth chart, you need a back-up to jump in and run plays. No one has time for hand-holding.


Problem with Vince is that his fans have totally turned me off to any story of redemption. I have no ill will towards the guy on a personal level, but, his cult has made me really not care whether he gets another shot or not. Let THEM give him a job, since they love him so much.

Being completely uncoachable can do that. From his meltdowns on the Titans, to the hilarious media faux pas while on the Eagles, it's not really that big of a mystery why coaches would rather march out Brady Quin, Ryan Lindley and Nick Foles.

And I would rather shoot myself than either of those guys, but if I had to choose I'd probably choose Carr, because while that guy won't win you a game (ever), he's not going to try and hot dog it and offer up a bunch of needless turnovers.

Plus Carr is a fairly benign dude with the media, whereas you know Young is going to give you a juicy quote to run with.

How do you plan around a QB who immediately curls into a ball once the ball is snapped?

Direct snap to the RB, every single offensive play.

Well, OK sometimes you snap it to the FB when you want to mix things up a little. Every now and then if Carr is having a good day and feeling adventurous you snap it to him and have him throw it but only if he's feeling up to it. The rest of the time you tell David that it's ok if he curls up into a ball as long as he does it in front of the RB. That way maybe some defender might trip over him.
 
ALL THAT AND A BAG OF MAIL: VINCE YOUNG COED FLAG FOOTBALL EDITION

It's come to this for Vince Young, he can't find an NFL job so he's now playing coed flag football at the University of Texas. Think about this career trajectory for a moment. From posting the best performance in the history of college football in the BCS title game -- his final play in a Longhorn uniform was a 4th down scramble for an undefeated title in a BCS championship game -- to playing coed flag football while going back to school to get your degree because no one will let you play quarterback for them anymore.
